Region Les Vaucrains
Production Details The 2012 Premier Crus were racked in July 2013. John Gilman assessed Les Vaucrains at 96+; Antonio Galloni assessed it at 94–96 while it was still in barrel after one post-malolactic racking.
Tasting Notes John Gilman: red and black cherries, red plums, cocoa, venison, complex soil, woodsmoke and vanilla oak, with a pure full-bodied palate, firm integrated tannins and a long soil-driven finish. Antonio Galloni: sweet red berries, mint, spices and freshly cut flowers, with comparatively silky tannins, lifted flavours and a seamless finish.
